But as you said, that’s a heterosexual issue as well - having a romantic assignation within the squad will effect moral whether it’s guy-girl or guy-guy. So where does that put us? No women in the military either?
I have no problem with that
I think women in combat positions in the military is a bad idea.
I do not believe they should be in combat, either in the field, or on board ships that sail into harms way.
Yep.
No women in the military, either.
Otherwise you are introducing sexual politics at every level, promotion, demotion, morale. . .
That’s how I see it.
Having women does cause some sexual issues.
On the other hand, the logistics at least are manageable.
If you allow women, and want to segregate into groups that are NOT sexually attracted, all you need to do is set up two baracks, two showers, and if you really want, two lower chains of command (they don’t do this last step). You can easily monitor fraternization because you can identify who are the women and who are the men.
Now, suppose you have 10 gay men in a troop. How do you separate them so there is no sexual attraction?
Well, you can’t put the gay men TOGETHER. They are attracted to each other.
You can’t put the gay men with straight men. The gay men are attracted to the straight men.
You can’t put the gay men with straight women. The straight women are attracted to the gay men.
The best you can do is pair up a gay man with a lesbian, and put them in separate quarters with separate facilities. And you have to do that with each group of 2.
In other words, it is impossible to have a “group” that includes gay men that doesn’t have sexual issues. And that is because it is fundamentally unnatural to be gay.
